Taking Down a Campus Killer

Ray and an armed (with his shotgun) civilian school administrator, both went up to the top of the tower together to stop Whitman. When they stepped out of the elevator at the top, Ray went around the tower in one direction and the armed civilian went the other way. It was pure chance that Ray encountered Whitman first, and hence, pure chance that Whitman was not shot down by an armed civilian school staff member, instead of an LEO. That’s how people reacted back in those days. [More]
There are a lot of great comments under yesterday's AmmoLand piece, but this one by "oldshooter" is outstanding, not to mention educational -- especially as he recalls the prevalence of guns in college dorm and frat house life back before subversives and useful idiots took over.

"Controversial" to Whom?

In the wake of the deadly massacre at an Oregon community college, the controversial Oath Keepers militia group revealed a new plan last week to prevent school shootings, announcing its intention to form college and high school chapters to train students to “fight back.” [More]
First of all, it's not a "militia group."

Second, they're only doing what's been proven to work under fire.

And lastly, what's with ending the article giving SPLC the last word?  How the HELL can a group centered around the oath its members take to the Constitution be  characterized by anyone but an Opposite Day "progressive" liar as "anti-government," and why did the "reporter" not see fit to question that?

A Serious Debate

'It's about time': guns become serious debate issue for first time since 2000 [More]
It doesn't get more serious than "I demand" followed by "No. Your move."

The Ludovico Technique

Researchers found the technique radically altered religious perceptions and prejudice. [More]
Oh, so not wanting your culture invaded, taken over and subordinated by a foreign one is now "prejudice" according to "progressive" Newspeak.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Pier Morgan Paradise

Police believe the attack is part of a spate of shootings between criminal gangs in Greater Manchester where gun violence flared in four separate incidents over the weekend. [More]
Look for it to get worse.

Sign of the Times

I'm sure it's all just a coincidence.

Making Military Less Formidable to Enemy Endangers Lives

So when we’re told “A few male Soldiers got an unexpected addition to their Army Combat Uniforms last week – not to mention an interesting change to their silhouettes,” can we follow up by asking what would have happened to one who refused? And what career and other impacts would enlisted men and officers who objected have endured? [More]
Hell, I like you. You can come over to my house and wear my sister's clothes.

Swaying the Jury

Brett Heaton Juarez, the jury's foreperson, said the jurors all agreed the business practices of Badger Guns were shoddy. He recounted testimony from the owners that they didn't train workers, didn't have policies and procedures they regularly followed, had not read federal regulations and didn't even know everything that was required on federal gun-selling forms. [More]
This did not need to be. Seeing people hang themselves because they don't do the fundamentals just makes me shake my head. I'm also wondering why the owners were advised to testify, assuming they had a choice.

Let's hope the appeal is handled competently, because this really amounted to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.  I'm just wondering who else is going to be badgered into bankruptcy now that such an unnecessary precedent has been set.

More AZCDL Photos


This latest batch was taken by AZCDL's Fred Dahnke. I don't mean for them all to be about me, but these and the last set are the only ones I've gotten so far aside from the two I took of Mark Walters with Jay Dobyns, the first one being blurry and the second marred by a closeup of the ol' booger hook.
I'll get the hang of things. It ain't easy moving up to one of these modern, new-fangled NSA monitors after years of clamshelling. I even figured out how to get my boarding passes on the screen -- talk about being pleased with my new-found technological prowess -- so it figures Southwest's system was down, requiring us all to stand in line for paper.

Ha Ha You Funny!

Good Lord, this cow is stupid.

Join the Fight

We need your help RIGHT NOW in letting Nevadans know about the new gun regulations Bloomberg and his army have planned for our state. [More]
I can't imagine being a Nevada gun owner and not already being heavily involved in fighting this. These people are carrying a heavy load and putting much of their own lives on hold to do what needs to be done.  How can anyone let them continue and not want to pitch in?

Wrong Question

I'm more concerned about all those crappy false alternatives the RNC is offering. Without a clear plan to stop and reverse cultural replacement and block off that "pathway to citizenship," as Hillary asked, what difference does it make?

Commie Book Men

According to the publisher, StormFront Entertainment, the $4 comic book will detail the “grassroots-level groundswell of support” that has “catapulted Sanders into the national spotlight, forcing his competitors to, ‘Feel the Bern!’” [More]
Something that calls itself "StormFront" putting out propaganda for an unabashed national socialist..?

Well, "progressives" do try to deny that connection...

If you don't mind spoilers, here's how it ends.
